Day 241: Reflections

On By LindyIn architecture, photography

I love this time of year when it starts to cool off, especially when I get the chance to go outside during the work day. Jerod and I met for lunch at a downtown park yesterday, and this building was part of our view.

Day 96: “Trainquil” morning

On By LindyIn photography

Sometimes your plans don’t always turn out how you’d hoped. I got up early with the intent of driving downtown for a nighttime skyline photo. I guess 5:45 a.m. wasn’t early enough with the days getting longer, because the sun was already rising when I arrived. My skyline photos were gray and dull. But when I looked in the other direction, I saw this beautiful, tranquil morning scene.

Day 75: The Farmhouse

On By LindyIn architecture, photography

I was lucky to spend some time outside enjoying the beautiful weather yesterday while I met my friend Lindsey for lunch. We met at the Farmhouse in the Rivermarket area of downtown Kansas City. I absolutely love the Rivermarket. It was still hard to find food without high fructose corn syrup, which I gave up for Lent, even though they buy their food from local farmers. Hopefully I succeeded.

Day 48: A beautiful life

I wanted to share this photo today, of my Grandpa and Grandma in the 1940’s shortly after they were married. Grandpa was a WWII veteran who courageously drove a tank and lived to tell about it. They were a beautiful couple, don’t you think? The time I spent with my grandpa and grandma growing up helped shape me in to who I am today, and I will always cherish those memories.

 

Here is the photo I took today on top of the downtown Kansas City library. It was sure gorgeous outside for February 17!

Day 27: The view

On By LindyIn photography

There was a gorgeous sunrise yesterday morning. Unfortunately, I was driving to work with no time or place to stop and take a photo. My office is on the west side of downtown, so it’s hard to see the sun rise once I arrive. However, if I look past the ugly concrete building that obstructs 90% of my view, I can see the river. People would pay big bucks for a view like this in NYC!
